Professor of Art Linda Rossi has been awarded an Individual Artist Grant for Advancing Artists from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council (SEMAC) for her project “Photographic Puzzles of Rice County.” Building on her recent successful installation at Valley Grove chapel, Rossi will create a series of photographic puzzles that focus on the landscapes, flora, and fauna of Rice County, fostering exploration of the ways in which we conscript nature in everyday objects. She plans to hold a public event showcasing the puzzles and featuring a reading by a local naturalist at the Northfield Library in September 2019.
